I think this is great and I love the tricolor LED but I also know that there's no way I would be able to remember which effect each color is, especially live on stage. For my last gig I had to rehearse pedal switching during songs so I wouldn't make a mess :)

This would work if I knew which component is the LFO :) Anyway using shielded wire will eliminate all ticking.

Love the graphics!

That's available as a 245 tip for less than 20 bucks on AliExpress. I almost bought one myself.

My TC1 tester reads Germanium leakage. No idea if it reads JFETs, actually.

I socketed the biasing resistors in my Desolate only for the first two random J201s to work perfectly with the stock values. As for the Low Tide, it's got pride of place in my Hall of Shame. Never worked properly. I have another board for when I'm ready to give it another try.

I also have a board. I only have a TC1 tester, I don't think it reads all those JFETS data, ill have to breadboard that tester. I don't name pedals but I'd call mine 99 Luftballons Fuzz

Q1 looks good but Q2c and Q3c should be around 8V-9V with Attack at 0. Q2c should be around 3V-5V with full Attack. If there was ever a circuit to breadboard before building, the TB MKI is it.

high quality NOS components and carbon comp resistors => noise Those leakages are very high => noise Anyway an MKI should be gated. Absolutely no noise when you' re not playing. What are your voltages?

Send it to Cyberattack!

Working as a compressor? Definitely a thankless job.

Are you going to compare it to well-known tuners? This looks intriguing

Tube tuner next?

That noise is seriously cool. Make music with it!

Cracking demo! I love mine and I also noticed the Modulation knob doesn't do much until the end of the sweep. I try not to use delay. When I do it's slapback with a bit of warble. Is there a way to mod the circuit to reduce the delay time so it becomes a chorus?

Surely you mean a giant breadboard as pedalboard, right?

My TC1 fails to read some transistors, sometimes it thinks they are diodes, sometimes resistors or caps :) But generally I don't worry because they're probably bad units. What can you do with an hFE of 13 anyway? But all those with gain between 60 and 90 I would just pop into a Rangemaster and...

I'm a mere buffoon, a soldermonkey, but here's what I know about leaky transistors: Q1 and Q3 in a Tone Bender MKI, as @Stickman393 said, or it won't work at all/sound bad. This circuit is supposed to be gated. Q2 in a Tone Bender MK1.5 so Q2c is at about 8V, otherwise it will just be a dark...

I'll read (and listen to) anything by Joe Gore. Thaks for the link!

Well done! The enclosure and graphics remind me of so called Cassette Futurism. This pedal belongs next to a Radial JDI in every studio. Now play endless E power chords with it :)
